New Update

E Quinox is an enterprise communication solution which includes email,

calendaring, Syncbook and Web mail. Added to which, it provides spam and virus

protection for all incoming mails. Its deployment is not restricted to any OS.

You can install it on Linux, Windows or Solaris, but the OS has to have Java

virtual machine installed. The minimum hardware requirement is pretty decent.

For example, for around 50 users, only 512 MB of memory will work on any Pentium

class CPU. Of course, the HDD space depends upon the storage requirement as

mails could be stored on the server or client can download them. For testing, we

deployed this on a P4 machine with 512 MB RAM and 120 HDD.

IQuninox has different modules including IQ-Mail, AV for IQ-Mail, anti-spam

for IQ-Mail, WebMail, IQ-Calendar, AUM, SyncBook, etc. The IQ Mail module

provides you extensive policy and security management, and rule-based controls.

In the latest version of IQ Mail, automatic delivery notification feature from a

remote postmail or IQ Mail is added. It also supports multiple domains, mail

forwarding and email routing. To increase the performance, it simultaneously

sends and receives mail which is different from some conventional mail servers

where mails are either sent or received first.

IQuinnox suite also provides plug-ins for IQ Mail, for anti-virus and

anti-spam. IQ Web is a proxy server and is another module that can be added to

IQuinnox. IQ Web provides you the option to allow or disallow messengers, that

are used by your employees such as, Windows Messenger, and also helps in keeping

track of files that are being downloaded. The protocols supported by IQuinnox

are HTTP, FTP, SOCK and RAV. It also helps in bandwidth optimization. For

example, it provides you the option for blocking large image files to be

downloaded and caching of frequently used pages.

The dashboard of IQuinox shows all the modules installed.

The interesting part is that, if you have a dial-up connection, then it will

dial only when there is a HTTP request by any of your authorized clients. At the

security front, it provides multiple authentication mechanisms; userpass: allows

users based on password authentication, EasyAuth: all are granted access, and

CacheAuth which asks for username and password for only first HTTP request.

IQ Calendar is another such module of IQuinnox, which allow advanced

collaborative calendaring and scheduling amongst your users. If some of your

users are using MS Outlook and some other mail clients, say Thunderbird, even

then they can seamlessly collaborate. This also provides you reporting service

called IQ EMIS report, which generates reports on email details, block list,

Internet access details, top summary, authentication failed, etc. The AM (Active

Management is for IQ Mail) helps you search for specific mail or mails in file

based archives folder.

Bottomline: If you want to deploy a complete digital comm solution which adds

functionality like monitoring and bandwidth optimization then it is good to go

for.
